> Please give me feedback on everything you would like

> to see happen

> into the FDA hearing on the

> following day. There should be a lot of media

> interest and we need to

> know how to handle that to maximize the potential to

> save more lives. I need to

> send out info to the e-group on all of the details.

> I want all of you to give me feedback. This OUR

> group, not my group. The International Coalition for

> Drug

> Awareness was established for the families to have a

> way to educate the world

> about these deadly drugs that are destroying

> America's families in every way

> imaginable.

>

> Thanks so much to all of you for all you do. I do

> not say that often

> enough because I don't know how to slow down long

> enough to even take a

> breath.
